My pal, Roger Fredinburg, hit the nail on the head with this. All it requires is guts and chutzpah from the GOP leadership business community. Roger sent this out as an email over the weekend. We need to make it go viral.
HOW ROMNEY CAN WIN
There is a way the Romney can beat Obama but it would require the American business community to stand tall and be counted for once..
I am completely convinced that Obama owns the population centers and major Metro’s and for Romney to unseat Obama, it will take nothing short of a miracle.
The greatest challenge the GOP faces in 2012 is convincing Americans that Romney will be more effective at turning the economy around than Obama has been.
Even conservatives doubt that Romney will make much of a difference, and I expect that a VP choice like Ryan will have little if any effect on eliminating those doubts nationally.
This is where GOP and Romney friendly business owners and Campaign Pac’s must step up their messaging and put some red meat on the table for the loyal and for the undecided.
The very first thing that MUST be done is that multitudes of business owners and corporate leaders need to come out publicly and announce that they will be hiring people the day after Romney wins. Businesses, large and small must go on camera, on radio, nationally and locally to denounce Obama’s policies and blame him for their economic uncertainty and lack of confidence. They must convey that those concerns are the main reason they aren’t hiring currently. They can also put up HELP WANTED signs with a message “Applications accepted on November 7 if Romney wins”.
Then they must express a genuine confidence in Romney and Paul Ryan to fix it and again, let me repeat… They must promise to start hiring the day after Romney wins, and of course they must follow through. This single gesture will start an unstoppable grass roots movement to oust Obama and build confidence in a Romney administration.
Second, there must be a TV and Radio campaign specifically designed to inform average folks about what happens at the organic level of economics when the government raises taxes on business and investment capital (The Rich).
They need to see and hear an endless stream of commercials depicting suppliers and wholesalers warning shop keepers and small business owners in advance about how much prices will go up if Obama is re-elected and taxes are raised. There needs to be a clear message that increased taxes will eventually come from the consumer’s pocket.
These ads must deliver a simple and clear message about how increased expenses like higher taxes or increased fuel and transportation costs due to our dependency on foreign oil always get passed on to Americans through higher prices and inflation.
People need to learn how inflation works and why higher prices are always the end result of “Taxing the rich”. It must be explained in detail to the undecided and un-informed just how the people who take the risks and feed into the National economy as entrepreneurs are subject to immutable business forces that demand increased costs be passed down the line to the end user and then make sure they connect that that means them personally.
Make it clear to Joe six pack that a “rich guy tax” is actually a tax he pays in the end.
Once people understand that higher taxes mean higher prices for them personally, and once the illusive independent voter “gets it” they will be immune to the constant whining on the far left to “tax the rich”. When they connect to the fact that the “fair share” Obama speaks about will actually come out of their own wallets, they will turn on Obama and toss him out.
These false notions of economic parity through taxing the “rich” must be properly explained to voters in laymen terminology. This Obama style class warfare machine must be countered with real substance. The GOP and their supporters must patiently and methodically educate people on the way our economy really works if they expect to win in November.
It must be explained that the only solution for America’s financial woes is to radically cut spending. The fact is, most Americans do not grasp it and The GOP must do their best to change that or they will lose.
If the GOP and the Romney friendly Pac’s fail to accomplish these important voter educational tasks, the sad and lingering outcome will be America’s undoing. The voice we must silence is chanting the sounds of American ruin; 4 more years! 4 more years!

R&R face an uphill battle with the SRM. Pray the sheeple wake up…
Let us pray for our nation and our election…
I agree with what you said insofar as it goes. I believe that Romney could have made a bigger impact had he chosen either Jan Brewer or Allen West as his Veep. Mrs. Brewer represents States’ Rights and the 10th Amendment, whereas Col. West represents a return to pride in America, and either choice would have been at once acceptable to the Power Elite and more shocking to Obama.
Be that as it may, Romney is a Neo-Con and not a true conservative. Ditto Ryan—who voted for TARP and other Establishment programs. But your article, which is good, ignores what I believe Romney’s real Achilles’ Heel is: As a wealthy Establishment businessman, he will go on to bigger and better deals should he lose. Even if America’s economy collapses completely—as I believe it shall—Romney will still come out ahead. Thus he has no skin in the game—it isn’t going to be the tragedy for him that Reagan experienced, losing to Gerald Ford in 1976. (Which gave us Jimmy Carter—thanks for nothing, Gerry).
The Big Picture here is that we are living in the Age of Neo-Con rising: The Police State, Corporate Vampirism, egalitarian nationwide poverty and despair. Once the tornado finally leaves, we’ll all come out from the basement, proclaiming, “Ain’t it grand the wind stopped blowing?”
We are going to lose this country, even if Romney wins.
“We are going to lose this country, even if Romney wins”.
Well then, just move away now. I’m sorry yet your pessimistic attitude is depressing. You really want four more years of Obama?
Well, Mittens “McCain” RINOmney could just fall off the ticket and let Paul Ryan get us across the goal line.
This election isn’t just about the economy, it’s about our rapidly increasing loss of freedom and liberty – which Romney, along with John Boehner, appear to be completely oblivious about.

Dave, your Romney needs updating. In the 3 days since he announced that Paul Ryan is his running mate, Romney’s attitude and rhetoric have toughened considerably. He sure doesn’t sound like McCain. I hope Romney-Ryan fight hard and dirty if necessary.
